1. [R4] 4/5 · US Exactly what I was looking for: I wanted an app that would let me set daily goals, but also goals that could be 3x per week at my discretion which day or on set days. I didn't think there would be an app that would perfectly meet my needs, but this one does. Perfect and worth the 3.99 for the paid app that lets you have more than five reminders. Update after lots of use: The only reason I dropped
2. [R18] 5/5 · US idea suggestion: i absolutely love this app. i’ve even using it and things i always wanted to be habits are now habits. one suggestion, and it’s really not a big deal, is to allow the user to add their own measurements. for example for a reading goal, the user could enter chapters scenes etc. many of the habits i have or want to have don’t fit well with the pre-determined list of measurements
3. [R26] 5/5 · US Great Little App: I can’t use paper habit trackers because I HATE looking at the little empty boxes for a whole month. This does the job perfectly, without the blatant display of my intermittent failures. It tells me when I’ve done so many tasks in a row, and pops up a little celebration screen when I do a good job. I recommend starting small - one or two habits at first. It’s easy to work with if
4. [R59] 5/5 · US I love this app!!!!: I was in a really depressive slump and felt so unproductive and guilty, thos app helped me so much and made me more confident and productive , I didn’t expect that at all , anyways Tysm to the devs for this!!
5. [R74] 4/5 · US Love the app overall: I love the app overall and find it useful - the way the habits are structured is flexible and highly customizable, reminders are great… however the stats section is poorly designed and gives somewhat irrelevant overviews that dont really reflect/provide meaningful data.
6. [R83] 5/5 · US Well-Done, developers!: I tried a few of the habit-tracking apps, and really like this one enough to go past the trial session and pay the company for the 1 year license. I have 30-ish tiny habits I want to do every day (or weekly or monthly), so this app is NOT limited to 3-6 like a few other apps (what were the others thinking?). Other features: lots of statistics, export-data option, Pass
7. [R98] 5/5 · US Practical, unobtrusive, works!: I’ve been using Productive for habit tracking since the before times, and have no plans to stop. It’s customizable so that you can get as many reminders, or as few, as you find useful. Name the habits you want to track, choose from a variety of habit settings and data view options. No complaints, it works!
8. [R19] 4/5 · US Great app, wish they didn’t upsell plans so much: I really enjoy using this app for its simplicity and creative UI. It’s exactly what I need. However, one part I find annoying is that everytime I open the app, they show me the screen asking me to upgrade to their paid plan. I’m on the free one and I wish I had more habits to track for free, but that’s okay. At least don’t show me this paid plan ev
9. [R65] 5/5 · US Nice interface: Fun to use
10. [R71] 5/5 · US worked great: App was not bad, kinda got me started but then needed more after a while. A basic base to begin goals and habits. The interface was pretty nice as well.
11. [R44] 4/5 · US Great App but Expensive: I have used this app premium version for two months now. It has been amazing. It is exactly what I need. A habit tracker where I can actually analyze the data to see which habits I still need to work on. I gave it 4 stars because I’ve been having issues with its timer feature. If I turn on the timer and move to another app, the timer stops working. If I play music or a v
12. [R78] 4/5 · US Great but..: This app is amazing being able to see how much percent productive you are. Also having a virtual checklist is great but it can be forgetful. When you open the app it shoves a subscription in your face which can be annoying to have to close constantly
13. [R2] 1/5 · US Huge price increase: The app developer owes an explanation for more than doubling the price of the annual subscription. What additional value will the app bring? What additional features will be added? Make it make sense. I’ve been a loyal subscriber for many years and am very likely to cancel my subscription unless I can justify the cost based on additional features.
14. [R3] 1/5 · US Okay, but not $80 okay: The app was fine when I used it but I can’t justify paying $80 a year for a check the box app. I can write my own list and check a box truth be told.
15. [R5] 1/5 · US Has bugs. Too expensive.: They just more than doubled their yearly subscription and have not been fixing bugs or introducing new features. App looks the same after two years. Timer doesn’t work half the time. You have to quit and restart for your changes to show. Finally cut the cord and found a new app. So much happier.
16. [R7] 1/5 · US They are doubling price: Used to love this app but next year are doubling the price to $80 a year that’s insane and I will not be renewing my subscription
17. [R12] 1/5 · US Not free: Trail is 7 days. Waste of download space
18. [R36] 1/5 · US No access without premium: I used to have the free version of this app, after I deleted it, I realized it was useful in reminding me with day-to-day activities. Upon redownloading it, I can’t use it without subscribing either $5.99 weekly or $99/year which is crazy, why would anyone pay that to be reminded to drink water or stretch? I just liked the UI but I’d rather just set reminders for free…
19. [R38] 2/5 · US Another Money-Hungry App: I am looking for a habit-tracking app that is easy to use, doesn't require a subscription, and doesn't force you to watch advertisements. This app asks you a couple of basic questions and then builds a personalized program for you. I really like that you can set custom reminder sounds because I know some other applications require a paid membership for that. Adding a pe
20. [R23] 1/5 · US Doesn’t want to be free: The ad to purchase the subscription for the app (which is NOT cheap) pops up every time you open the app. It’s so infuriating I’m moving to something else. Ridiculous.
21. [R66] 3/5 · US Good app, new welcome screen is bad: They just rolled out a change where every time you open the app it tries to force you into buying their premium option and have to click the X to go to your habits. Other than that the app has been great but if this stays permanently Im just going to delete this app and stop using it.
22. [R14] 2/5 · US Good app, but overpriced.: I used this app for a year and found it had a positive impact on my life. However, with the annual $80 renewal approaching, I reconsidered whether it was worth the cost. I discovered other apps on the App Store that offer a similar, if not better, experience for much less. While the app works about 85% of the time, it occasionally breaks streaks without reason, experienc
23. [R73] 4/5 · US Make available on mac or even on iPad: I like the app. Would like to use it on Mac and iPad tho
24. [R104] 5/5 · GB Great but missing a few features…: Really great app and finding it really useful. Just wish it had a few features: - iCloud sync across devices so I can use the app on iPad too. - Ability to move the order of habits (just added a new habit and would be really helpful if it was at the top of the list!) - Ability to change the sizing (would be useful to have the habits a bit smaller - just a perso
25. [R124] 3/5 · GB Not multidevice!!: Ive set up all habits on my ipad, the app is lovely and very easy to use so I bought the year subscription. The issue comes when I was going to set it up on my iphone and it works as an independent account, no synced with other devices… if you fix this I will give 5 stars but it is a big issue
26. [R37] 1/5 · US Poor customer support: Great app, poor support. I’m a paid web-based user and iOS app stopped being able to access data recently and support emails go unanswered.
27. [R67] 1/5 · US App ok. Customer service doesn’t exist: Wanted to try this app and it was like ten bucks for a promo. A week later I got hit for over$80. Reached out and never heard back. Pretty disappointed. Buyer beware.
28. [R182] 3/5 · CA Annoying bug: If you set a timer, the app will make a sound when the time is up, regardless of your phone settings. Emailed support with no response.
29. [R32] 1/5 · US Long time user: I bought the premium version years ago. Recently unable to log back back in without repurchasing a much pricier version. As a special Ed teacher I used to recommend this app to everyone. Now I’m looking for a new app but sad to lose 8 years of habit data!
30. [R43] 1/5 · US Can’t log in: I’ve attempted several times to create an account or log in with Google. The profile is created in the browser but the app won’t let me login!
31. [R58] 3/5 · US Can’t sign in.: Would be nice to be able to sign in to the app. I have been able to sign in previously, however after I had to do a fresh iOS install, I’m unable to sign in now.
32. [R60] 1/5 · US Forcing users to buy the subscription: I've been a user of this app for two years, enjoying its features without any issues. However, the latest update has taken a disappointing turn, forcing users to purchase a subscription to access even basic functionalities. The free version has become inaccessible, and I've lost all my previously stored data.
33. [R6] 3/5 · US New annoying feature: I redownloaded this app lately so that I can create my create my own custom app. But the app now forces you to define your goal so that it can force you to pick a habit from a list of predefined ones which is annoying. Not everyone cares about existing habits in the app. Other than that it is a pretty good app
34. [R17] 1/5 · US Deleted: How can anyone stand this kind of app? It starts with a bunch of annoying juvenile questions as if it’s going to run my life for me, and knows what to ask. Then the options are limited when you start. Then it thinks it knows what’s best for me when presenting options. I guess if you’re 13 and haven’t a clue about who you are and what your habits are or should be, this kind of silliness wo
35. [R39] 1/5 · US Developer is out of their mind: $25/mo for full features for a productivity app, seriously? Or $99/yr? Completely bizarre pricing scheme aside, I would be willing to take this app much more seriously if the suggested habits weren’t still from Covid era. There’s literally still a “staying at home” and “preventative care” section in 2024. Makes me think that the developer is no where near this app a
36. [R1] 1/5 · US So much for lifetime: I purchased the lifetime app and am now being told I need to purchase plans.
37. [R10] 5/5 · US Thoughts: I think this is a very important app
38. [R35] 1/5 · US Practically unusable since latest update: Bought the premium app years ago, now they want an exorbitant amount for the subscription. No thanks.
39. [R13] 2/5 · US Okay, but not worth subscription increase: The app itself is okay. I found the interface a little unintuitive but workable. However, I got a notification that the subscription would be increasing to $59.99/year. I can’t remember if the original cost was $15.99/year or $29.99/year, but either way: it’s an increase of at least 100% for the same app. I also don’t recall ever receiving any kind of “we
40. [R46] 1/5 · US CAN’T DO ANYTHING!!!!: I’m sorry, but I literally can’t do anything on this app without the premium version!!! And I can’t even delete this app because my phone is broken. I can’t participate in challenges or add certain tasks to my day just because I don’t want to pay $6 a week. DO NOT RECCOMEND
